OILES Air Bearings

Product catalog summary
Overview of Air Bearings: Air bearings, particularly Oiles Air Bearings (OAB), are hydrostatic gas bearings known for their high speed, accuracy, and ultra-low friction. They operate without contact, minimizing wear and enhancing precision.
Advantages of OAB: OABs are characterized by high load performance and stiffness due to their unique porous material design. They are customizable for various applications, including high-speed and high-stiffness needs, and are economical, reducing air source consumption and running costs. They are also suitable for clean room environments.
Technical Specifications: The document describes different types of air bearings, such as porous, orifice, and inherent-orifice restrictors, each with specific applications and performance characteristics. Performance data includes load capacity, stiffness, and flow rate, with customization options for different shapes and dimensions.
Applications and Customization: OABs are used in precision instruments for measurement and inspection, offering high reproducibility and accuracy. They come in various forms, such as bushings, pads, and spindles, and can be customized to meet specific customer needs, including load capacity and stiffness.
Performance Data: Detailed performance data for different OAB models is provided, including load capacity, stiffness, and air consumption. Guidelines for assembly and operation are included to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Operating Instructions: The manual stresses careful handling of air bearings to prevent damage. It outlines the ideal operating environment and precautions during operation, such as wearing appropriate gloves and avoiding direct contact with the bearing surface.
Specifications and Procedures:
1. Material Handling: Prevent liquids from adhering to the porous material of the bearing surface to avoid performance deterioration. Use air to blow off stains and wipe with a lint-free cloth.
2. Mounting Instructions: Ensure the mounting surface flatness is 2 μm or less for pad and flange bushings. Avoid tight housing bore dimensions for straight bushings.
3. Air Supply Control: Ensure air supply meets JIS B 8392-1 (ISO8573-1) standards. Recommended air pressure is 0.5 MPa. Use piping tubes with internal diameters of φ4 or more.
Recommendations and Best Practices:
1. Interlock Setting: Implement interlocks to prevent movement without air supply.
2. Operational Precautions: Ensure tubes are free of contaminants before installation. Use clean, dry air for 30 minutes before operation. Balance rotating bodies to prevent damage.
3. Storage Guidelines: Store air bearings in environments that prevent condensation. Use desiccants for long-term storage.
Troubleshooting:
1. Movement Issues: Check air pressure and clear any water or condensate from the bearing.
2. Vibration Problems: Ensure dynamic balance of rotating bodies.
3. Accuracy Concerns: Inspect for installation issues or overloads.
Cost and Efficiency: Oiles air bearings feature a porous restrictor that reduces air consumption and running costs by approximately 1/4 compared to inherent-orifice restrictors. Cost calculations are based on operating time, equipment number, flow rate, and air cost.
Support and Services: Oiles provides comprehensive support, including product demos, design proposals, and performance verification to ensure customer satisfaction.
